Three artists from California's Imperial Valley have joined in an effort to bring more art to the Southern California area through the Imperial Valley Artist Collective.
The group was organized this summer and will have the grand opening of the group show, titled Borderline Disorder, tonight.
It will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Imperial Valley College Art Gallery and will remain on display until Sept. 9.
The exhibit features 52 art pieces by 52 artists from all over the world and includes video, photo, paintings and drawings.
Artists showing include Imperial Valley College art professors Tom Gilbertson and Carol Hagerty as well as Chicano artist Daniel Marquez.
Elizabeth M. Lopez of El Centro, along with Minerva Torres-Guzman and Alfredo Guzman, both of Holtville, went to Imperial Valley College together and then graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles in 2007.
When they returned to the Valley after graduation, they felt that most art activities were occurring in Mexicali. The three decided to start the collective to encourage artist collaboration and make art more accessible to the community, Torres-Guzman said.
